Restore thinning hair and promote natural growth with hair restoration at Abrams Dermatology. Using PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, we effectively treat conditions like male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and hair thinning due to stress or aging. Achieve fuller, healthier hair with our advanced, non-surgical treatment.
Stimulate Natural Hair Growth
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes the body’s healing properties to stimulate hair growth. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma rich in growth factors. This PRP is then injected into the scalp, targeting areas of thinning or balding hair. The growth factors in PRP promote cellular regeneration, enhance blood supply to hair follicles, and encourage new hair growth. This safe and effective treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
PRP Hair Restoration is the Ideal Treatment For:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
- Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss due to autoimmune conditions)
- Telogen effluvium (temporary hair loss after stress or trauma)
- Scarring alopecia (permanent hair loss due to inflammation)
- Traction alopecia (hair loss caused by tension on hair from tight hairstyles)
- Hair thinning due to stress or aging
- Hormonal hair loss
How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP hair restoration involves extracting a small volume of blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains high levels of growth factors and proteins essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate the hair follicles by increasing blood flow, promoting cellular regeneration, and extending the hair growth phase (anagen phase). This revitalization of the follicles can enhance hair thickness, density, and overall health.
The Unique Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration:
- Non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime
- Utilizes the body’s own healing properties
- Safe with a low risk of allergic reactions
- Promotes natural hair growth without harsh chemicals
- Can enhance hair thickness and density
- Suitable for both men and women
- Quick treatment sessions, usually under an hour
- Minimal discomfort with no need for anesthesia
- Results can improve over time as hair follicles regenerate
PRP Hair Restoration FAQs
What Happens During the Treatment?
During your PRP hair restoration treatment, you’ll start with a consultation to discuss your hair loss concerns and treatment goals. Once you’re ready, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The PRP is collected and injected into targeted areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred.
Are There Any Side Effects?
PRP hair restoration is generally safe, but some individuals may experience mild side effects. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites. Some patients may also notice slight bruising, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. Serious side effects or allergic reactions are rare as the treatment uses your own blood.
What is the Downtime?
PRP hair restoration involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and harsh hair treatments for at least 24 hours. You may also be advised to refrain from washing your hair for a day to allow the PRP to settle effectively into the scalp.
When Will the Results Appear?
The results from PRP hair restoration can vary, but most patients begin to notice improvements in hair growth within three to six months after treatment. Initial results may include thicker hair strands and increased density, with optimal results often appearing six to twelve months post-treatment as hair follicles continue to rejuvenate.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
The number of PRP sessions you need depends on your hair loss condition and goals. Typically, 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. After the initial treatment plan, maintenance sessions every 6-12 months can help sustain your results.
